COUNTY FAIRS.

We can not too urgently urge
farmers to make their respective
county fairs what they ought to be.
Nearly all the counties in the state.
if they would bring them forward to
their county fairs, could make as
good exhibits Of fine stock as is gen
orally exhibited at the state fair. If
there should be a general attendance.
with all the good stock, daily prod
ucts, grain, and other farm prod
ucts which any one of fifty coun-
ties could exhibit, it would nearly
equal, and in some cases probably
excel, the state fair. And these ex-
hibitions are Of incalculable benefit
to all interests. A good exhibition
adds to the value of every acre of
ground in the county. The mere
item Of premiums is a small matter
in comparison to the benefits to be
derived by the farmers from the OBJ
ject lesson exhibited in every supe-
rior animal, improved machinery, Of
the introduction by exhibiting Of
new and better qualities Of grain,
vegetables, grasses, etc. Farmers
who neglect their county fairs and
let them go down, or even dwindIe,
neglect one Of their best interests.
1t decreases the value Of property,
ceases to inspire enterprise, and the
county, therefore, fails to keep up
with the advance of the times.

WILL NOTDOWN!

The apathy with which the sub
scriptio1 paper to raise funds Tor
fair purposes has been received this
week has been source Of embarrass-
ment to the association. The better
feelings of our. people have, in a
measure, reasserted themselves, and
original subscriptions have, in some
cases, been doubled, in others increas-
ed, until the gloom which was cast
over the financial movement in the
outset has pretty much disappeared,
and it now looks as if the fair could
be reality. It is to be regretted
that there was any frigidity in the
reception of the subscription commit
tee. They were at work in a worthy
cause. 1t is true that our people
have been assailed on every hand
with subscription papers, but the
fair was the wrong place to draw
the line. This will be more and
more apparent to al as they re-
feet On its objects. A fair would
help every business man in Wa-Kee-
ney. 70 land agents it would be a
veritable godsend at a time when they
could not fail to appreciate it. Prop
erty values should not be permitted
to go down. All Of us are interest
ed in keeping them up. There are
enough articles in Trego county to
make a creditable showing at fair.
There are enough people in the
county, who are interested in the
matter, to see that good display IS
made. Nobody expects to see the
whole earth shown at this fair. No
one need expect to see much of what
is called style. But Trego county
ought to have a fair annually.
This year she could show farm prod
nets in competition with several
states to the east and northeast.
The opportunity to do this success
fully may not occur again for many
years.
The above was intended for inser-
ton in last weeks WORLD, but, with
some other matter, was crowded out.
We are HoW able to state that an ele-
ment has been working for this fair,
who will not hear to it's being de-
clared off. They say it shall be a
success. Among these men is Mr..
McGarvie, president of the associa-
ton, who is thoroughly at home on
all subjects connected with fair cp-
erations.
Judging from the new spirit which
has invested a large number Of our
people, nothing is in sight to war
rant the belief that the fair will not
be all its projectors have expected of
it. The watchword now is:
Sail in!

The fair at Hays CITY, last week

The fair at Hays City, last week,
is pronounced at home not to have been
SO successful as fairs at that place in past
years. Freese says the failure is attribu-
table to the managers not counting the
favor Of his Free Press, and the Sentinel
intimates that the trouble lay in some OF
the live managers having grown weary of
throwing their money into the fair scheme.
AS it was, the showing was pretty good.

FARMING As Il PROFESSION

[ do not know one educated young man
of American birth who thinks of farming
as a profession. [ have sat for ten min
utes over this paper trying to recall an
individual who had even spoken favora-
bly, of agriculture us a vocation to live
by. Farming appears to have completely
passed out of the thoughts of young men
in the eastern states as a desirable career.
Is not this somewhat strange in nation,
the founders and first rulers of which
were farmers almost to a man? Accord
ing to recent statement a considerable
number of students in our college are
willing to go into foreign countries as
missionaries, and all the professions ap-
pear to have some attraction for the young
and ambitious, excepting, alone, this first
and chief of all, the cultivation of the
SOIL flames Parton in New York Mail
and Express.
The difficulties so wildly portray
ed by Mr.. Parton come from the
lack of intelligent instruction in
youth. The average child of the
farm is taught that every thing
smart or lovely attaches to the form
of the city professional or business
man. How sad the error. How
grievous the frequent outcome!
While all professional men should
be great scholars, only meager per
centage are. While every business
man should be linguist, in order to
talk sales in the native tongue ofeach
customer, the fact is American Gus
toms demand no such an education:
and the average business man, so far
from being prodigy of accumulated
lore, does not know enough to go to
a farm, and succeed passably.
Now we are coming to the main
point Of this article. The education
of the agriculturist should be of
higher order than that Of the mer-
chant. A knowledge Of botany,
chemistry and Of the sciences which
a knowledge Of these two must in
clude is necessary to the highest art
in farming. This knowledge is a
necessity to the farmer; to the aver
age business man it is luxury.
Can it be that, with the high ground
which is in dawn for the farmer rec
ognized, farmers will continue to
send their ''smart" boys to the cit
les? No. True farming will be to
the farming of the past what the in
candescent light is to the old tallow
candle.
Among the best methods of in
structing farmers children in the
greatness Of agriculture is to bring
them to the Fair. They will see and
reason. Any Of them will perceive
a difference between thoroughbred
and scrub live stock or vegetables.

A Multitude of Ailments.

The ailments which aff1ict the kid
news and bladder are so numerous, that
merely to name them would fill space
lar outrunning the limits of this article.
Suffice it to say, that they are both OBJ
stinate and dangerous. To their pre-
vention, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
we'll adapted. The stimulus which it
lends to the action of the kidneys when
they are lethaTgic, serve to counterfeit a
tendency in them to lapse, first, into a
state OF pernicious inactivity, and after
wards into one of positive organic
disease, which soon destroys their deli
cate integuments, poisons the blood and
causes death. a double purpose is
served by this depurent, It promotes
activity of the kidneys, and expels I'M
purities from the blood, which have no
natural channel of outlet except those
organs. Constipation, biliousness, fever
and ague, rheumatism and dyspepsia,
are also remedied by this medicine of
thorough action and wide scope. /

BETWEEN THE proceedings of The
Constitutional Convention and the
preparation for our grand double Gel
ebration OF the Fourth we cannot be
expected to think of much else.
AN ALMOST oppressive though very
commendable competitive compatrlotic
spirit of loyalty seems to pervade the
entire community, chargeable, no
doubt, to David Evans or Loyal Dave, "
as he is Familiarity called by his friends.
PROFESSOR j. E. TALMAeE, of the
Brigham Young Academy, and his
company of explorers, have returned.
and have some wonderful stories to tell
of their experience in the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, and over
mountains ten miles up ON one side and
fifteen miles down the other side, etc.
We shall probably hear more of the
Professors experience hereafter.
WE WERE somewhat amused the other
day in listening to some of the sorrow
full bewailments of a prominent Liberal
on account OF what he regarded as a
lamentable apostacy from the Mormon
church. The gentleman could not see
how any Mormon could conscientiously
subscribe to, the test oath and
still entertain any reliable hopes of sal
walton, These Liberal theocrats are now
advocating the revelation on poIygamy
to prove that any man not reveling in
the elicity of connubial plurality must
be damned-politically Never before
have We seen the people in Provo mani
fest more enthusiasm or appear more in
earnest to celebrate independence Day
than at the present time. Preparatory
for the great event our sprinkling cart
has again made its appearance and
stripped of its outside covering of last
summer, We are permitted to gaze on the
beautiful advertisements which decorate
the sides as it passes along to wet down
the dust on the streets. We have not
noticed any display of the little six inch
flag that triumphantly waved in
David Evans Office window on
the day the Edmunds-Tucker bill
became law, though many of the
stores and other places of business are
already decorated with the Stars and
Stripes. Will Smoot has a good-sized
flag on his sign post in front of his
store; a rival next door has two flags
on his sign post. The elimination of
this competitive patriotism will prob
ably make next Monday one of the red
letter days in the history of Provo.
